Let's get things kicked off properly, shall we? |
I see you're picking up right where we left off. ;) Got my season tix couple weeks ago, I'm psyched! Except for the fact that half of the team came down with jock itch. LOL. While dislocated kneecaps and high ankle sprains draw more attention, Coach Pete Carroll said he has never seen anything like the minor outbreak that caused key players to miss practice Wednesday. As much as 25% of the team has been affected by the apparent run of tinea cruris, kicker David Buehler estimated. The condition seems to have spread by way of new compression shorts, or tights, worn under their football pants. Tailback Joe McKnight and receiver Travon Patterson were sufficiently afflicted to spend Wednesday's practice on the sideline. "It burns," Patterson said. In recent years, the team has battled more serious incidents of staph infection, employing measures such as washing uniforms in hotter water. Also in the non-traditional injury category, defensive end Wes Horton said he and teammate Christian Tupou got food poisoning last weekend from salmon they ate on campus. The illness passed quickly and the Trojans are hoping for similar luck with what Carroll delicately referred to as chafing. "We've had to adjust to some new equipment that we're wearing that didn't work out right," he said. "It's funny how that happened." Maybe not so funny to the players. "Sometimes they can't walk," said tailback Stafon Johnson, who could giggle because he has remained itch-free. "I don't know what it is, but I'm staying away from it." | ||
What? No discussion today? Notre Dame barely won against San Diego State at home who in turn, lost to DII Cal Poly last week. I heard someone on ESPN this morning say the Irish were going to win 11 games this season. My ass they are... | ||
You must be talking about Lou Holtz. He used to coach the domers. Jawja and tOSU = creampuff city. Like, can you schedule some real teams please? | ||
Yeah, it was from old Lou but I think I heard one of the other commentators mentioning that he said that. Thought it was a joke to be honest. Geez... | ||
Boomer Sooners. | ||
I can only hope ND wins 11 games. I saw Joe Montana on the sidelines yesterday. His son is on the team. He looks just like his dad. Claussen looks better than last year. I was impressed with his passing in the second half. He was 10 for 11 and he threw for 2 TD's. He threw for 3 TD's overall. Golden Tate is good. Watch out! | ||
Clausen looking better than last year is subjective. The question is does he look better here?
Or here?
Anyone else note the absence of any members of the opposite sex in those photos where there should certainly be some present at both of those locations? I couldn't find a picture of the new mullet he's sporting, which I noticed when I caught him mouth an expletive when the camera was in full zoom on his mug as I flipped over to see (hope) they were losing to SD State. All he needs is three or four popped collars to complete that look. | ||
Fox Sports' Lisa Horne has published a list of the ten most obnoxious fan bases. Can't say I disagree with the top pick, though I would certainly have rearranged and/or changed most of the rest of them. | ||
#5 reporting for duty Chris. :) Traveler VII is a pure Andalusian. And he would poop on PETA.

Uconn football is not "big Time" yet but we shared the big east title last year...I've been a season ticket holder sine they went to 1A. Still waiting for that W.V. win... |
